Description
HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge MMR Corporation (LA) and, its president, James B. ""Pepper"" Rutland, appeal their convictions for conspiracy to rig bids on a Cajun Electric Power Cooperative project in violation of section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1, and for defrauding Cajun Electric on the same project in violation of the mail fraud statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1341. The indictment also charged defendants with aiding and abetting these crimes contrary to 18 U.S.C. § 2. Defendants attack the convictions on numerous grounds. First, they argue that MMR was not a competitor of the charged co-conspirators and therefore cannot be guilty of a per se violation of the Sherman Act. They next complain of rulings on questions of evidence, comments by the prosecutor and the sufficiency of the evidence. We reject each of these arguments and others that we will describe and affirm both convictions.
